I don’t think any of us are fanboying, as we have stated many times (maybe not here) things we don’t like about ESP.

Your analogy doesn’t make any sense because he, I, and many others paid top dollar for our customs new. And, you can be sure, the cost we paid includes the cost of putting “ESP” on the headstock.

It would then make sense if he were upset if someone put an E-II logo on the headstock of his ESP custom because...that’s not what he paid for: he paid for an ESP Custom, not an E-II custom. That isn’t to say he’s going to up and stop playing it. Only he can answer that. I mean at the end of the day, a fine guitar is a fine guitar though.

You can feel however you want to feel about E-II. It’s your opinion and that’s clear to everyone. And you can be sure we’ve all heard similar complaints. It’s the analogies your using to explain your opinions don’t make any sense. Not the opinion, as Raider has a similar opinion and I think he gets treated just fine(?). Just the analogy. That’s all I was saying at least.

And I apologize if you feel like you’re getting attacked on all ends by “fanboys”. At the end of the day, more ESP guys and gals is a good thing. You don’t have to accept it, but it is sincere.

Ok i can deal with that. Sorry if my analogies were confusing. And i dont want to argue with anyone. I just felt that my initial post was belittled because i didnt like the e-ii thing. Will try to post with more clarity in the future. Peace.

How does that not makes sense? He says the logo makes no difference to the guitar. So hypothetically speaking, he would have no problem getting the headstock of his esp custom refinished with E-ii instead of esp.

What doesn't make sense about that? And your passive aggressive comments are condescending. Iv seen other posts where you use the same wording. Im done arguing with fanboys of a brand that im a fanboy off! Sheesh. God forbid anyone voices a personal opinion about a product someone else holds in high esteem.

@Ikke got this well covered. I'm saying E-IIs are fine guitars. I've owned four now (I think??) and I'll own more. I've had two LTD Elites, probably 15 or so ESP Standards, three customs (of which I still own, as I forever will, one). I'm not dissing on the brands, I'm just pointing out that there are differences in the tiers. By ESP's own standards, they want to reserve "ESP" for the headstocks of custom shop built instruments (which includes the Original and USA lines). The name comes with the tier and I'm pretty comfortable saying that anything from the customs to the 400 series LTDs are fine guitars, but some are much better than others.
Not trying to beat a dead horse here. I think the confusion has been mostly settled. So back to the sick guitars and my sheer envy of @eelblack2 's acquisitions.

I so very much support this.
I'm a bit out from being able to get another Custom/Original/US ESP, but I'm always looking, always planning. Still shopping custom quotes too, at this point, payments over a year period is going to be the wiser move, I'm just not permitting myself to use credit cards anymore.
Give it time, we all know I'll be back.
That said, I'll proudly say what I think every single day for the past year+, my Custom shop Horizon is the best guitar in the world. I have absolutely no regrets. It's perfect.

Yep. Thats all good except most of it has nothing to do with the context of your first reply to my original comment. But lets just move on.

incredible dude. Basically my grail guitar. Though a green stain instead. Can i ask. is there a noticeable build difference compared eII or es standard series. Or are you just paying for the custom experiance? Id Totally pay just fyi. if i had that cash to drop. One of these days !! haha
